PHOENIX – Ha Na Jang and Hyo Joo Kim are among the South Koreans looking to keep the country’s winning streak alive.
Jang birdied four holes in a row before darkness fell Friday to take the lead in the suspended second round of the LPGA Tour's JTBC Founders Cup.
She’s at 11 under through 29 holes at Marriott’s Wildfire Golf Club after opening with a 4-under-par 68. She has a one-shot lead on Kim, who is the leader in the clubhouse at 10 under after posting a 69.

Choi, Kim, Yang and Park are South Korean. Ko was born in South Korea and moved to New Zealand when she was 6.
